Strawberry, Basil Bleu Burgers are a perfect threesome of flavors. You've got sweet from the berries, a peppery flavor from the basil and a cool, creamy bite from the bleu cheese.
Ingredients
- For the Burgers:
- 1 pound ground beef, turkey or chicken
- 2 tablespoons red onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Burger buns of choice, (ciabatta, pretzel, white, sesame)
- Blue Cheese Dressing:
- 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons of sour cream
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons of milk of choice, I used buttermilk
- dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sliced strawberries (about 1 strawberry per burger)
Instructions
- For the Burgers:
- Place your ground beef in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients
- Mix to just combine. If you over mix, the burgers will be tough.
- Form into 4 equal patties
- Place the burgers on the grill or grill pan heated to medium and sprayed with cooking spray
- Cook burgers 5-7 minutes per side or until an internal meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees
- For the dressing:
- Place blue cheese crumbles into a small bowl and mash with a fork to break up large crumbles. Add in the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Assembly:
- Place the burgers on the bottom bun of your bread. Top with blue cheese, then the strawberries, a little more chopped basil if you wish and then the top bun.
Notes
*If you do not like blue cheese, you could use steak sauce, mayonnaise or balsamic vinegar
